how to disable "press f1 to continue" when booting make change bios boot

Advertise On This Page

How many times have you rebooted a server from a remote location, hoping that it will come back online. Its happened to me alot. I keep on pinging the server hoping so see reply back, but instead, i wait and wait and all i see are reply time outs.

When I ask my remote hands people, i have them connect a KVM to see what the error message is, only for them to tell me the server is at:

Press F1 To Continue

Well, next time this happens to you, tell your remote hands people to disable it. How do you disable it? well, i will show you:

first get into the BIOS, in this example guide, i will be using an intel board i use for a customer's web site.

Step 1. So, this is the error message you will see (or your remote hands people)

Step 2. To go to the BIOS configuration, in my case, i am going to press "Delete" button. One i am in the BIOS, I am going to look for the "HALT ON" Option. Select it and choose the "No Errors" Options.

Step 3. Save your changes and reboot

Done

i want to help as much people as i can, can you please tell me what kind of machine you are using when you got this error... please.

Manufacturer: (example, HP)
Model (DL360)
Type: (server or pc)
Any other information others can find useful.

Thanks

why my computer makes me press either F1 or F2 to continue

:: 10 :: Reply #123187 Reply By whatever On Sun Dec 13, 2009 2:38 am

whatever:

how can people be so stupid.. there is a problem with your pc thats why its asking you to stop.. press f1 to continue means there is either a problem with the cmos/ the battery for the time that the pc uses or some hardware malfunction is causing the f1 problem.. if u disable the halt on error option your making the situation worse.. if in case your pc encounters a very bad error that continuing will cause your hard drive or your operating system to crash there will be no filter with which to stop your pc from continuing... do so at your own risk...

ok thanks for that, but isnt that just over looking the problem rather than solving it.
it seems to me all that is doing is disabling the warning that let you know there is in fact a problem, rather than actualy fixing the problem its self.

anyhow htanx all the same, it was quite anoying
